I was removing unneeded packages after an installation, secure in the knowledge (so I thought) that kpackage would warn me if I was removing something with a dependancy on it. I soon found this not to be the case. Just to be sure, I removed netscape-common (without removing navigator first) to see if I'd get a warning message. Kpackage removed n-c without so much as a word of protest. Perhaps there's something funny about my system or maybe there was a bug in kpackage that's been fixed in KDE 1.1.2. However, I stopped using kpackage and have been using gnorpm without problems. ===== Glen Strom [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
